Stefanie Schneider – Time in Flight
In Stefanie Schneider’s world, airplanes don’t soar—they linger. Suspended in the faded blues and sunburnt oranges of her signature Polaroid palette, these aircraft become symbols of longing, escape, and the hazy promise of elsewhere. Shot in the wide-open skies of the California desert, Schneider’s airplane images resist the urgency we typically associate with flight. Instead, they evoke stillness, a kind of temporal limbo—neither arrival nor departure, just the space in between.
Working exclusively with expired Polaroid film, Schneider invites time itself into the image-making process. The emulsion’s chemical decay becomes part of the narrative, with every streak, blur, or shift in color revealing a collaboration between artist, material, and memory. The imperfections are never flaws—they are evidence of life unfolding, fading, and transforming. Just as memory distorts over time, so do her photographs. What remains is an emotional truth, however elusive or abstract.
Her airplane photographs are particularly powerful within this framework. The aircraft, often viewed from below or mid-ascent, becomes more than machine—it’s metaphor. A vessel caught between the past and future, between earth and sky, between hope and melancholy. There’s a cinematic quality to these images, as though they’re stills from a dream you forgot to finish.
Stefanie Schneider’s work is not about freezing time. It’s about showing how it melts. And in these images of airplanes poised midair—washed in light, softened by age, hovering like ghosts—she captures something deeply human: our desire to move forward while still tethered to what we’ve left behind.
